"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
p) Your hand must hold on the handle when you are working. Always use the auxiliary
handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad,
brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle,
if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback
over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
